ConGrats on the new TV.
I picked mine up last week. Love the sound when you put it under a load. The hitch is about the same height as in my 2005, but the sides of the box are about an inch or so higher, but I still have good clearance to the underside of the Monty. I understand the previous Allison 6-speed locked out 6th gear when in Tow-Haul, NOT so with the 2011, will tow in 6th while in Tow-Haul, but you have to be up to expressway speed before it will shift up. You will love the Exhaust Brake, you can make normal stops with very little brake effort. I'll know more later in the month when I take the Monty to Trailair in Goshen for some up-grades.
